Title: From Parisi to Boltzmann
Abstract: I will discuss a framework which unravels the physics behind
the Parisi solution of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model within a
purely thermodynamical setting. The framework comes with a simple plan
for a rigorous treatment. Eventually it all boils down to elementary
yet tremendously challenging Taylor expansions of some Gibbs
potential.
